Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP The men's Tour de France is over for another year, and what an epic week of racing we've just seen. Pogačar might have wrapped up the overall victory early on, but some amazing battles for the green, white, and polka dot jerseys, some big shifts in the rest of the top 10 in the final week, and an unbelievable finish in Paris made this a truly memorable edition of the race.  Guys, Durbo's just finished his final Tour de France and is dialling in from a well-earned holiday to join me and Southam for this month's episode of The Race Communiqué where we're wrapping up the 2026 Tour de France.  Of course, we've been dropping weekly wrap-up podcasts on the rest days, so we start this episode by spinning through the last week of racing. Having Southam on board to give us some insight into Richard Carapaz's audacious moves on those brutal final three stages to take two stages and the polka dot jersey is another reminder of how lucky we are to have Tom and Luke take us inside the pelo each month.  A big topic of discussion over the last week of racing was the fans on Alpe d'Huez. Record-breaking numbers of spectators made the pilgrimage to the mountain, and it might have been a step too far. A brutal exit for Einer Rubio after a team car had to brake for a stumbling spectator really highlighted just how sketchy it can be up there, and hearing some of Durbo's war stories from the other end of the bunch is really eye-opening.  Of course, Durbs wrapped up his 12th and final lap of France, and he takes us through the emotions of reaching Paris for the final time.  Durbo's PeloChat takes us inside the seldom-discussed world of the grupetto. We spend a lot of the time focusing on the riders winning the bike races, but the guys at the back are probably suffering even more just to get to the finish within the time cut! Southam's call before the Tour de France about the Mega-Break was spot on, and we saw a few stages defined by absolutely massive moves with tens of riders in. In this month's Talking Tactics, Southam shares the secrets to getting into a breakaway, and just how bloody hard it can be!  Guys, there is a lot to go through in this episode. As is often the case with the Tour, there are so many different stories to follow. Get yourself comfortable Cheers, Mitch The Race Communiqué is brought to you by TrainingPeaks!

Luke Plapp is back on the pod straight off the back of the Tour de France, and we're running through everything from the final week. Plappy takes us inside Stage 21's new Montmartre circuit (better than Alpe d'Huez?), what it's actually like riding through the crowds at Alpe d'Huez when you're not racing for GC, and why this year's race stayed relatively crash-free.We break down Max's Legs Not Names and Names Not Legs rider ratings, build our Tour de France dream teams, and rank every team's tour from top tier to bottom of the class.

(27.7.2026) Tadej Pogačar piatym víťazstvom v celkovom poradí vstúpil do elitného klubu jazdcov s rekordným počtom titulov na Tour de France. Pár minút po preťatí cieľovej pásky na Elyzejských poliach však už začal spriadať plány na vystúpenie z tejto mikroskupinky. To znamená jediné, atak na minimálne ďalší titul. V Alpách sme videli dominanciu Pogačara na Alpe d´Huez spojenú so stanovením nového časové rekordu na tomto legendárnom stúpaní. Deň na to sme boli svedkami naháňačky medzi Seppom Kussom a Richardom Carapazom, kde po dvojnásobnom zaváhaní Američana bral etapu a bodkovaný Ekvádorčan. Najväčšiu chuťovku si však prichystal na záver Mathieu van der Poel. Spanilý atak s Tadejom Pogačarom pred finále na Champs-Élysées dokázal zakončiť víťazstvom na páske pred letiacim pelotónom za jeho chrbtom. Totálna cyklistika, totálne divadlo!

Na 21 dagen koers en een krankzinnig slotweekend van de Tour de France kan de hartslag eindelijk weer op een normaal tempo komen. Vanaf vrijdag was het twee dagen finishen op Alpe d'Huez, met op de zaterdag de Koninginnerit, en zondag hadden we een kort, maar zeer krachtig slot op de Champs-Élysées na drie keer de Montmartre te hebben beklommen. Een slot etappe dat wat weg had van een voorjaarsklassieker en waarbij een in de gele trui rijdende Tadej Pogačar een sprint aantrekt voor Mathieu van der Poel die al leeg zijnde nog een tweede extra sprint uit zijn tenen trekt om vlak voor het al in volle sprint zijnde peloton zijn tweede etappezege deze Tour te pakken. We spraken erover met Rodrick de Munnik van WielerFlits Magazine. Presentatie: Robert Denneman

Ime tedna je postal Tadej Pogačar, najboljši kolesar na svetu, ki se je s peto zmago na Dirki po Franciji pridružil elitnemu klubu kolesarjev s petimi skupnimi zmagami v najzahtevnejši kolesarski preizkušnji na svetu. Za njim je izjemen Tour, na katerem je osvojil pet etapnih zmag, med njimi tudi na kultnem vzponu na Alpe d'Huez, kjer je postavil rekord najhitrejšega vzpona. Ob tem 27-letnik ni blestel le kot tekmovalec za skupno zmago, ampak je v več etapah prevzel tudi vlogo pomočnika in mentorja ter moštvenemu kolegu, Mehičanu Isaacu del Toru, pomagal do tretjega mesta v skupnem seštevku. Kandidati so bili tudi: Tim Samuel Milčevski, bolj znan kot DJ Matway, didžej in glasbeni producent, ki je kot eden redkih slovenskih ustvarjalcev elektronske glasbe nastopil na največjem svetovnem festivalu elektronske glasbe, Tomorrowlandu v Belgiji. Z nastopom na razprodanem festivalu, na katerem je na 16 odrih nastopilo več kot 500 izvajalcev elektronske glasbe, je naredil pomemben korak na svoji mednarodni glasbeni poti. Žiga Lin Hočevar, Peter Kauzer in Lan Tominc, kajakaši na divjih vodah, ki so na ekipni tekmi v slalomu na svetovnem prvenstvu v Oklahoma Cityju osvojili zlato medaljo. Sloveniji so tako priborili prvi naslov svetovnih prvakov na ekipnih tekmah v slalomu na divjih vodah po osamosvojitvi. Doslej so slovenski kajakaši na svetovnem prvenstvu v tej disciplini zmagali le enkrat, in sicer še pod jugoslovansko zastavo.

Week three legs are separating the field, the Alpe d'Huez debate isn't going anywhere, and the mailbag has thoughts on both. Chalk lines vs rope vs barriers, plus one photo of Pascal Ackermann that needs no further explanation. And yes, there was also a Queen Stage.In this episode:Week three legs — who's still got it, and who's cooked after three weeks of racingWorking through the mailbag on Alpe d'Huez — the good, the fair, and the "maybe don't say that" feedbackChalk lines vs rope vs barriers — trying to find the happy medium without killing the atmosphereThat Ackermann photo, and why it's the perfect encapsulation of the mountain's chaosCarapaz sets the record on the first climb out of the holes, then does it again late — third-week Carapaz is just a thing nowMads' baffling, brilliant, completely unnecessary KOM raid mid-Queen StageTadej's full-stage domestique ride for Del Toro, and Prodhomme's iconic stare-downSepp's double crash, near miss with the ravine, still smiling in the press conferenceReedy's Tour de France fantasy league shout-out, and the "Free Quinn Simmons" campaign beginsMore Aussie Uno-X funding chat — tech money still leading the raceStage 21 preview: the shortened Paris finale, wildfire disruption, Pogi and MVDP going long again

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin discuss Richard Carapaz's incredible stage win on the race's second finish atop Alpe d'Huez, Mads Pedersen's ride to get into the breakaway yet again to add to his Green lead, and Tadej Pogačar working to get his UAE teammate Isaac del Toro on the podium. Johan also gives grades for each GC contender, previews tomorrow's altered Stage 21, and gives their picks for the stage win.

Richard Carapaz produced a stunning ride to win the Tour de France's ultimate queen stage on Alpe d'Huez, completing a brilliant final week by taking his second victory of the race and sealing the polka-dot jersey. But the Ecuadorian's triumph came after a dramatic finale, with Sepp Kuss looking destined for a famous stage win before crashing twice on the descent into the finish and seeing his hopes disappear. We break down a brutal day in the Alps, from the huge 5,600 metres of climbing to the battle for the breakaway, as Kuss, Carapaz, Jai Hindley and others fought for the stage victory on the final climbs. After Kuss' heartbreak, Carapaz seized the opportunity and powered clear to claim a memorable win on one of the Tour's most iconic climbs. Mads Pedersen once again showed his trademark panache, fighting his way into the breakaway and securing the points needed to all but seal the green jersey. The Dane's willingness to attack even on the toughest mountain stages underlined one of the most impressive points-classification rides in recent Tour history. Behind, Tadej Pogačar swapped his usual attacking role for that of super-domestique, setting the pace on the Galibier and the final climbs to protect UAE Team Emirates-XRG teammate Isaac Del Toro's third place on GC. The yellow jersey sacrificed his own ambitions of another stage win to help his teammate, creating one of the most fascinating moments of the race. We also discuss Paul Seixas' superb ride to defend fourth place overall, the French teenager continuing to announce himself as one of cycling's brightest future stars, while Remco Evenepoel launched a late move in search of victory and strengthened his grip on second place. Ned Boulting and Lizzie Deignan Breakdown Stage 20 of the Tour de France 2026.

Stefan, Laurens en Johnny gaan verder. De mannen hebben een zware ochtend na hun lange dag feest op de Alpe d'Huez - de studenten praten na. Het record van Pantani wordt nog een keer aangehaald en over Tadej zijn ze duidelijk: het is een resultaat van de vooruitgang, een exceptioneel talent. Op de agenda vandaag een experiment qua parcours, een soort Marmotte alternatief. De Télégraphe, de Galibier, een staartje Alpe d'Huez… de renners kunnen zich opmaken voor de laatste zware dag van de Tour. En nu hopen dat Tadej voor de witte trui van Isaac wil gaan rijden, zodat we wellicht een iets spannender koersverloop krijgen. Wint er een klassementsman? Of krijgen we een wedstrijd in een wedstrijd? We gaan het allemaal beleven vandaag. Je hoort het allemaal in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.

Konflikt na Bližnjem vzhodu se širi in zaostruje. Savdska Arabija je sinoči izvedla napade na pristaniško mesto Hodajda in druge cilje v Jemnu, ki jih nadzirajo uporniški hutijevci. V Rdečem morju pa naj bi bila napadena savdska ladja. O novih obstreljevanjih poročajo tudi iz Hormuške ožine. Po poročanju iranskih medijev je ameriška vojska v Omanskem zalivu napadla tanker. Ameriški predsednik Donald Trump je sicer sinoči dejal, da se ZDA pogovarjajo z Iranom o končanju konflikta, vendar Teheran še ni pripravljen na sporazum. V oddaji tudi o tem: - Vlada sprejela ukrepe za ublažitev rasti cen goriv - V Franciji in Španiji zaradi obsežnih požarov evakuirali več kot 200 tisoč ljudi - Po veličastni zmagi na Alpe d'Huezu pred Pogačarjem še kraljevska etapa na Touru

Terwijl Sepp Kuss in gewonnen positie niet één, maar twee keer onderuit ging, greep Richard Carapaz misschien wel de mooiste zege uit zijn carrière. In de bolletjestrui won hij de koninginnenrit op Alpe d'Huez. Een iconischer beeld bestaat er bijna niet. In een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel gaat het vooral over de pech van Visma. Staan de valpartijen van Kuss symbool voor de Tour van de Nederlandse ploeg? Niek Goedvolk bespreekt het met Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Marijn Abbenhuijs. Verder gaat het over de strijd om het wit tussen Isaac del Toro en Paul Seixas. Wie van de twee wordt over een paar jaar de troonopvolger van Tadej Pogacar? Of is het misschien toch Remco Evenepoel? De olympisch kampioen bevestigde in deze Tour dat hij ook als klassementsrenner tot de absolute wereldtop behoort. Luisteren maar! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tijdens de Tour de France 2026 maken wij iedere dag een podcast. In vijftien minuten praten we je bij over wat je echt moet weten voor de volgende etappe. Vandaag staan we uitgebreid stil bij de zwaarste etappe van deze Ronde van Frankrijk, waarin er weer van alles gebeurde. Remco Evenepoel, Richard Carapaz en Mads Pedersen drukten hun stempel. En wat kan Mathieu van der Poel in de ingekorte slotrit naar Parijs?De voorlaatste etappe van deze Ronde van Frankrijk was de allerzwaarste van deze 124e editie. Met de Col de la Croix de Fer, Col du Télégraphe, Col du Galibier, Col de Sarenne en nog drie kilometer van Alpe d'Huez, kregen de klimmers en klassementsrenners een laatste kans om veranderingen te forceren. In het klassement lukte dat niet meer, daar bleef de top-10 ongewijzigd. Wel verzekerde ritwinnaar Richard Carapaz zich mathematisch van de eindzege in het bergklassement en deed Mads Pedersen hetzelfde na een nieuwe straffe stoot om het groen.Tadej Pogacar had al aangekondigd voor Isaac Del Toro te gaan werken in de slotrit. Daar begon de geletruidrager al mee op vijf kilometer voor de top van de Galibier en dat bleef hij doen tot aan de finish. Daardoor rook Remco Evenepoel zijn kans schoon om er in de slotkilometers vandoor te gaan. De Belg stoomde sterk op en snuffelde zelfs nog even aan de dagzege, maar Carapaz bleek te ver weg. Wel verzekerde Evenepoel zijn tweede plaats en dat zorgt voor vragen: kan hij ooit de Tour winnen? Hijzelf en onze verslaggevers Maxim Horssels en Youri IJnsen zijn duidelijk.Zondag wacht nog de ingekorte slotrit naar Parijs. Niet minder dan 92 kilometer wachten de renners nog, waarbij de aanloopfase van Thoiry naar de Franse hoofdstad is geschrapt. De start is nu ook op de Champs-Élysées, waar ze eerst zes rondjes rijden. Daarna volgen er nog drie, maar in die omlopen zit en blijft Montmartre. De helling in de Franse binnenstad lijkt spek naar de bek voor Mathieu van der Poel, die voor velen in het peloton ook de favoriet is. Hoe dat precies zit en welke conclusies wij nog meer trekken, hoor je in de voorlaatste Tour in 15 minuten-podcast!

Kolesarji so se ob vstopu v sklepni del dirke po Franciji ta konec tedna povzpeli na Alpe d'Huez, na brzicah prihodnjih olimpijskih iger pa so se končali slovenski nastopi.

Richard Carapaz conquistó la etapa reina del Tour de Francia después de una exhibición de resistencia en los 170,9 kilómetros entre Le Bourg-d'Oisans y Alpe d'Huez. El ecuatoriano coronó en cabeza los cuatro puertos de categoría especial, aseguró el maillot de la montaña y logró su segunda victoria en apenas tres días, por delante de Remco Evenepoel y Sepp Kuss, que sufrió una escalofriante caída cuando lideraba la carrera. Mientras tanto, Tadej Pogacar renunció a perseguir el triunfo para proteger el podio de Isaac del Toro y dejó prácticamente sentenciado su quinto Tour antes de la llegada a París.

Stage 19 of the 2026 Tour de France delivered one of the greatest spectacles in modern cycling. A 127.9km mountain stage from Gap to Alpe d'Huez, with 3,500 metres of climbing, always promised fireworks, but what unfolded on the Tour's most iconic climb exceeded every expectation. Richard Carapaz, Lenny Martinez and Sepp Kuss looked set to fight for the stage after an elite breakaway survived deep into the final ascent. But behind them, Tadej Pogačar had other ideas. Launching a devastating attack from the GC group, he rode alone up Alpe d'Huez, hunting down the breakaway one rider at a time before attacking again inside the final kilometre to claim one of the most memorable victories of his career. He didn't just win on cycling's most famous climb, he set the fastest ever ascent of Alpe d'Huez. It was a performance that felt almost impossible to comprehend. Was this the greatest ride of Pogačar's career? Is it one of the finest individual performances the Tour de France has ever witnessed? We break down every moment of an unforgettable afternoon in the Alps. We also discuss Carapaz's remarkable back-to-back mountain raids, Lenny Martinez's outstanding ride into second place, Remco Evenepoel strengthening his grip on second overall, and how the battles for the podium and polka-dot jersey have been transformed heading into the final weekend. Carapaz's efforts also moved him into the lead of the King of the Mountains competition, setting up a thrilling fight for the jersey. Ned Boulting and David Millar Breakdown Stage 19 of the Tour de France 2026.

Stefan, Laurens en Johnny gaan verder. Vandaag is het FEEST! Want de heren gaan naar de Alpe d'Huez. Dagenlang gaat het nergens anders over. Het logistieke draaiboek is inmiddels bijna net zo dik als het routeboek van de Tour. Het wordt een relatief snelle rit, met wind in de poeperd, en mogelijke stress voor het behalen van het tijdslimiet voor sommige renners. “Eigenlijk is vandaag één lange finale.” Wat speelt er bij UAE? Gaat Decathlon de boel openbreken voor Seixas? Welke ploegen rijden voor de etappe, welke voor het klassement? Droomt iemand als Evenepoel of Seixas nog van het hoogste treetje in Parijs? Alle ingrediënten zijn aanwezig voor een machtig mooie dag. Een iconische klim, duizenden supporters en een etappe die alle kanten op kan. Allez on y va!En hoe zat het nou met die karma voor Tim Wellens? Je hoort het allemaal in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.

Stefan, Laurens en Johnny gaan verder. Vanaf een 40% steile alpenweide. Gek-ken-huis op de Alpe d'Huez vandaag, maar wat hebben de heren genoten. Renner voor renner in levende lijve kunnen bewonderen, aanmoedigen, en zelfs duwen. Gelukkig hebben ze de koers ook kunnen volgen vanaf de schermpjes, waardoor geen enkel moment ze is ontgaan: van de interview toneelstukjes bij UAE, Evenepoel die vriend en vijand verbaast, de fenomenale strijd om de groene en witte trui, en natuurlijk: Pogacar. Wat kunnen de mannen hier nu over zeggen? 1,5 minuut sneller dan Pantani, tegen deze man is in principe niks te beginnen. Ze kunnen er enkel bewondering over uitspreken.En hoe zit het nou met het wonderkind Seixas? Je hoort het allemaal in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.

E' arrivato ufficialmente il No di Pep Guardiola alla Nazionale Italiana. E' arrivato dopo che, nella conferenza stampa di presentazione di Maldini e Leonardo in Lega Calcio, questi ultimi avevano ancora tenuto viva la speranza. Ma in quanti ci credevano davvero? Il commento è di Fabrizio Roncone, giornalista ed editorialista del Corriere della Sera.Facciamo ancora un salto indietro al Mondiale appena concluso insieme al critico televisivo Antonio Dipollina: tra Half Time Show e Adani scatenato è piaciuto lo spettacolo ai telespettatori?Concludiamo col Tour de France che oggi arriva all'Alpe d'Huez che, tra oggi e domani sarà affrontata due volte come arrivo di tappa. Convocato il nostro Pier Augusto Stagi.

C'est un col mythique. Un col que tout grimpeur rêve de remporter un jour. Tadej Pogacar ne l'avait jamais fait, c'est désormais du passé. Ce vendredi, pour la première des deux arrivées à l'Alpe d'Huez, il s'est imposé, en battant le record d'ascension de Marco Pantani.   Le maillot jaune assoit un peu plus sa domination sur ce Tour de France et a douché tous les espoirs de victoire de Richard Carapaz et Lenny Martinez. Paul Seixas a de son côté perdu quelques semaines sur Isaac Del Toro et devrait jouer son va-tout sur la 20e étape demain.

Chaos en een klimrecord op de Alpe d'Huez. Op een bomvolle Nederlandse berg verpulvert een ontketende Tadej Pogacar de 31 jaar oude toptijd van Marco Pantani. De geletruidrager is bijna anderhalve minuut sneller dan Il Pirata in 1995. Na afloop zegt Pogacar dat hij niet wist wat het record van Pantani was. Maar geloven we dat? Natuurlijk niet. In een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel bespreekt Niek Goedvolk dat met Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Daniël Dwarswaard. Daarnaast gaat het over de enorme drukte op de Alpe d'Huez. Is het met zoveel mensen op de slotklim nog wel verantwoord? Wachten we niet op een keer dat het écht gruwelijk misgaat? En wat zijn de mogelijke oplossingen? Waarom wordt de klim niet volledig afgezet met hekken? Of is entreegeld een optie? Genoeg om over te discussiëren in een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

¡Otro día de exhibición total de Tadej Pogacar! Si él quiere ganar... ¡Ganará! Destroza el récord de Alpe D'Huez con una subida legendaria para llevarse la victoria. ️ Presenta: Alberto Marcos. ¿Quieres ser el mejor oyente de La Bicicleta Podcast?

Lance, George, Sir Bradley, and Spencer Martin (aka The Professor) break down Richard Carapaz's stage win from the breakaway and Mads Pedersen's incredible move to get into the move to pick up the intermediate sprint points.

A genuinely wild green jersey day — Trek let a 40-point lead shrink to 7 in the space of one stage, while a mystery illness in the UAE camp opens the door for Red Bull to make a real move.

Stefan en Laurens gaan verder. Nieuwe rit, nieuwe kansen. Het beloofd een prachtige dag te worden: niet alleen voor de koers (want: mytisch en loodzwaar) maar ook voor Stefan en Laurens als toeschouwers. Want er gaat eindelijk weer koers gekeken worden ‘in het echie'. Generale voor de Alpe h'Huez. Veel vragen, nog weinig antwoorden: Wie gaat er demarreren? Gaat Visma | Lease a Bike nog wel echt steeds voor de Tour winst? Wat moet de tactiek van de Killer Bees worden en wat absoluut niet? Gaat er een vlucht komen? Hoe vecht je als ploeg tegen de pk's van UAE?En hoe zat het nou met Tadej die wat glazig voor zich uitkeek? Je hoort het allemaal in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.

Stefan, Laurens en Thomas gaan verder. Vandaag de koers dan éindelijk van dichtbij: gewapend met een koelbox, rosé, een worstie, een kaasie en stoeltjes - kortom: alles wat een mens nodig heeft, en Laurens in het bijzonder. Een generale repetitie voor de Alpe d'Huez. Gevolgd door een welverdiend Tourtukje en de finale op groot scherm.Na 180 kilometer snelwandelen naar Bergerac verschijnt Tim Merlier precies op tijd ten tonele. “Als een duiveltje uit een doosje,” concluderen de heren: simpelweg een paar procent beter dan de rest. Ook Alpecin Premier Tech gaat nog even onder het vergrootglas: van vermogen en nog geen goede lead-out, naar wél een goede lead-out maar geen vermogen. En natuurlijk wordt het Live Slow Ride Fast reglement weer uit de binnenzak getrokken: Jonas rijdt met een roze fietscomputer en Frank van den Broek bewijst dat een loswapperend rugnummer geen probleem is, maar een interessante uitdaging. Last but not least: big Liam Slock!En hoe zit het nou met die Pakistaanse waterbadjes? Je hoort het allemaal in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.

As Part two of Fr. John's three-part French cycling-pilgrimage series, this week's episode introduces the life of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and the apparitions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Under the theme of the ardent and fiery love of God, it is paired with the Alpe d'Huez - the most iconic climb of the Tour de France, featured in the coming weeks of this year's tour.

This week on the GCN Show, we're looking at how a relatively unknown amateur rider seemingly smashed Marco Pantani's legendary Alpe d'Huez climbing record, and exploring whether everyday cyclists with a specific focus could actually climb faster than the pros. We also bring you the latest tech news from the Tour de France, discuss Sam Laidlow's jaw-dropping long-course triathlon world record, and introduce our brand new eyewear partner!

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP   Here we go, guys: It's Tour de France time. The big one starts on Saturday, so I sat down with Durbo and Southam for a special EMERGENCY PODCAST to preview the 2026 edition of the race. Who better to preview the biggest race of the season with than two guys who are going to be there; Southam in the team car as a sports director for EF Education Easypost, and Durbo riding his 12th and final Tour de France for Greenedge.    Kicking off this weekend with a team time trial in Barcelona, the race then heads up through the Catalan roads that Luke and I trained on together when I was across in Europe. This may be the Tour de France, but this is basically a home stage for Girona resident Durbs. From there, the Tour crosses the Pyrenees into France and - although there are a few big mountains in the first two weeks of the race - the route this year is very back heavy, climaxing with not just one, but TWO ascents of the infamous Alpe d'Huez. After 20 brutal days of racing, the pelo jet across to Paris for the awesome new final stage with the cobbled climb of Montmarte to draw the curtain down on another Tour de France.    Of course, as well as the big preview we have our regular segments. In PeloChat Durbo's asking the question; is it worth going to the traditional Tour de France warm up races any more? More and more riders are favouring training camps over racing to get a better quality build without the risk of crashing, picking up an injury, or just totally rooting yourself before the big show in July, but what's the best way to prepare for the Tour?   Over in Talking Tactics, Southam's diving into where that tipping point in GC is for riders just underneath the top tier favourites. Where do they have to be sitting in the top 10 or 20 before they decide to sit up, let the overall go, and head up the road in breakaways in search of a stage win. The likes of Pidcock, Ayuso, Lipowitz, and more who could stretch for a podium if everything goes there way, but could really turn the race on it's head if they decide to go for stages.   The Communiquiz is a super simple quickfire from quizmaster Durbo; which teams ride which bikes. I won't spoil the results for you on this one, but let's just say Southam spends a lot of his time in amongst the bunch looking at their bikes, and I…don't.   Who's riding? Who are the favourites? What are the stages like? How will the race unfold? What are our predictions? Tom, Luke and I discuss all of these questions, and more in this special emergency ep.    Listen to this episode and get yourself ready for three weeks of baguettes, berets, wine, beautiful countryside, sunshine…oh, and a bloody big bike race too!   Cheers, Mitch   The Race Communiqué is brought to you by TrainingPeaks!
